The Spanish Language.

70 the Editor of the Indianapolis journal:
There are few more beautiful languages than
the Spanish. In some respects, notably
strength, it seems to me to excel the meilifuous
Italian. 1t has more masculinity and energetic
virility than the French, with less of the dainti-
ness and delcacy of the latter The Spanish
finds one of it's finest modern expressions in the
vigorous speech of CASTELAR,. The Portuguese
is not so pronounced in its evolution as the
Spanish, but is ousin-dialect of the Spanish
both being modernized descendants of Latin
More than half, Except Brazil all South and
the southern part of North America are Span
ish speaking countries. With them, as repub-
lies. our sympathies should go. our natural out
let of trade is toward thems and yet we ignore
them and the Spanish language. This is I'M
wise. We should study Spanish, and unite the
republics of America in closer bonds. The fol-
lowing sonnet, translated into Spanish by Fred

EARTHQUAKES ARE COMMON
we Have Always Had Them and Nav Ex
pect Many Moro.
(FrOm the New York TribuneD

From the New York Tribune1
An educator who has given much
study to earthquakes and volcanoes is
Professor John X. Rees, of Columbia
college. Ho is stoutly built man of
perhaps thirty-fve, with round and
chubby face, black mustache and more
the air of business man than O. student.
Talking with mo in the Lincoln National
Bank the othor day, he remarked that in
long series Of years each section of the
country was visited by about the same
average number of earthquake shocks.
"Lhe reason any new shock appears
phenomenal is because the people forget
the tormer ones" said the professor.
"We have kept records of shocks in
New England and the Middle States, and
md that they como year in and year out
with about the same regularity. The
shock that are being reported from the
west appear phenomenal to the people
out there because they have no records
back OF period of forty or fifty years.
and within that period have forgotten
occurrences of the same kind or have
Jailed to record them. If some old miner
Is alive whose memory runs back Of fifty
years he can tell them. AS to the vol
canlc phenomenon in Arizona I have no
knowledge except from the newspapers.
The evidences Of old volcanic eruptions
exist oil along the mountain ranges in
Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Nevada
up to Oregon. / believe they are most
numerous in Nevada"
When asked what the relative effect
would be on New York city of shock
like that experienced by Charleston,
Professor Rees replied in substance; "In
loss OF life and property / should say
tho disaster would be a hundred fold
greater. There is SO much moro prop
erty and SO many moro people in a small
compass III this city that the results
wonld be greater in proportion. Build
lngs i'll this city are run up to enormous
heights, with great sheet iron facings,
The streets, especially in the lowor part
Of the city, during the day time, are
crowded with people, and the falling of
these decorative parts Of structures
would be exceedingly disastrous to life
and limb. The fact that New York
building is mostly done on rock founda-
ton and that nearly ell the great struc-
lures are put together with Portland
cement instead of mortar might save the
! destruction Of much valuable property,
but all the cheaply built structures would
suiler. The use Of Portland cement has
made buildings SO solid that they can
only be torn down by the use of explo-
siVes. Even in such structures an earth
quake like that at Charleston would
break the window caps and lintels, and
prove very destructive"

Justice Woods Successor.

In connection with the probable choice
OF q successor to the late Justice Woods.
oJ the United States Supreme Court, it
Is remarked that some of tho candidates
already named will probably be handi-
capped by the fact that they are from
States which now have one or more rep-
resentatives on the supreme bench, and
a candidate from State having no such
representative will most likely be pre-
torred. While Justice Woods lived
Ohio had three of her sons in the Su-
premo Court-the Chief Justice and
Justices Matthews and Woods, though
tho latter nominally was appointed from
the South, whore he had lived but O.

Judge Miller, is from Iowu; the next,
Justice Field, from California; Justice
bradloy, from New Jersey, Justice Har-
lan' from Kentucky, Justice Gray, from
Massachusetts, and Justice Blatchford
from Now York. The South alone az
all sections OF our country being entirely
unreprcsonted, many think Candidate

Xceptcd-because that State already has

to be the successful one,
